The only other B&W statue I've ever wanted is the DAVE MAZZUCCHELLI, which is based on his 'Batman: Year One' artwork. Just gaze upon its awesomeness:

Unfortunately I missed the short window when it was released and it has been existing in the jacked-up price of the Secondary Market (approx $300). Its just too expensive for my wallet.

Well DC has now released a second version! And like the other 2nd versions, they've swapped out the "Year One" Bat Chest Emblem for the OVAL emblem:

The Bolland statue's Oval Emblem works because Bolland's Batman wore that emblem. But with Mignola and Mazzucchelli, Batman wore the "Year One" emblem. As much like my Mignola v2, I would greatly prefer the Year One version.

So much, in fact, I just can't bring myself to buy this v2 Mazzuccheli statue. I know all I would is stare at that little sliver of oval emblem and be sadly annoyed - "That's not how it looks in 'Batman: Year One!".

________________________* Many thank yous again to my friend Dylan, go gifted me the Mignola v2 statue. Yes it has the oval emblem, but I still love it.... just not as much as the v1 "Year One" version :P Love you!
